I am deeply saddened. My prayers go out to Debbie - may Fred rest in peace. Fred was a great friend and I always looked forward to spending time with him each summer at TRF's Summer Party. My wife and I always enjoyed his company and "jokes". We could always count on at least one of them being a repeat :-) but it didn't matter, it was jest fun being entertained. Conversations about Triumphs were always helpful but honestly, it was his friendship and caring that I loved so much. He was a wonderful man and a fantastic asset to all of us in this Triumph passion. It was through Fred that I met so many of the great members on this list because he always made sure to introduce my wife and I to the rest of you that he counted among his friends. Of course it was Fred's opinion I sought when I was considering buying our TR3 from John Swauger's uncle. Thanks Fred for being you. You will be - make that are - missed.
